Sawadee krap familia :)
The day started with me deciding to go out to Pai a nearby place. However, the friend(Jack) that I was going out with - a Bitcoiner, said that his girlfriend isn't allowing him so I was kinda left hanging in the middle of the plan that we had made. It was almost 10:30-11:00 AM when I got done uploading my blog and finishing up on pending tasks.
Nathan, Matt & I went to a market of artists - it was more like a marketplace for all the artists to showcase their work - from clothes, shoes, ice cream, food, etc! It was all artisanal and was aesthetically pleasing as well. We spent time there for a while and returned to our place. We had delicious homemade ice cream, the Vendor was learning about trading in Cryptos but wasn’t keen on taking Bitcoin from me.
I, then, got a message from a friend saying that she wanted to visit Chiang Dao. She was well aware that I only have bitcoin, she agreed to accept Sats from me for my share of expenses.
After flying my drone in my neighborhood nearby, we met at a vegan restaurant and headed to Chiang Dao. It was a long ride - we left at 4:30 PM and reached at around 6:00 PM. We, however, did not have any means or place to stay at Chiang Dao.
After we reached the town, We did a bit of searching for resorts on booking.com and found Aurora Resort, Mandala Resort, Malini Resort, etc. We finally chose to stay in Mandala Resort as they seemed really nice and the price was reasonable as well. (500 THB/night)
After settling in, we chilled for a while and started talking, had food which we had bought from outside. The amusing part was when Rick, the owner of the resort, when asked if he would accept Bitcoin as payment, readily accepted saying that if I taught him how to accept it, he would! :)
Rick has been a healer who practices a lot of science related to healing stones and more! I'm glad we chose this resort. :) Rick has been living in Chiang Dao for the last 15 years and has this beautiful house with 6 bungalows.
Am so glad that we found a random place about 80Kms from Chiang Mai which would start accepting Bitcoin!
